Classic Car conversions

Electric classic car conversions give beloved older cars a new life – original looks and character, modern electric running gear underneath. This section covers the UK’s growing conversion scene: the specialist companies electrifying everything from Minis and MGBs to Land Rovers and Porsche 911s, standout individual builds, and the practical questions of cost, range and originality that every owner weighs up before committing.

Converting a classic isn’t cheap – professional builds typically run from the tens of thousands of pounds – but for cars driven regularly in cities and low-emission zones, the case grows stronger every year. We look at who’s doing it well, what the finished cars are like to drive, and how the industry is maturing.
